Multidisciplinary Diabetes Management and Education Strategies in the Inpatient Rehabilitation Setting
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: People with diabetes receiving inpatient rehabilitation have multiple unique care needs. Although the condition, event, or disability resulting in admission to an inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) may not have a causal relationship with chronic conditions such as diabetes, the condition precipitating referral to IRF care may increase a person's risk for worsening cardiometabolic disease. Furthermore, diabetes management in the IRF setting may be complicated by stress hyperglycemia from illness and/or drug-induced hyperglycemia from the use of glucocorticoids or other offending medications. The availability of a multidisciplinary team of clinicians and therapists in the IRF setting holds great opportunity for development of robust diabetes care and education programs to optimize therapy, teach or reinforce diabetes self-management survival skills, and facilitate safe transitions of care to individuals' next setting of care.
